24e7745d7a devices: ignore lvm1 and pool devices 2018-05-01 15:18:47 -05:00

c1cd18f21e Remove lvm1 and pool disk formats
There are likely more bits of code that can be removed,
e.g. lvm1/pool-specific bits of code that were identified
using FMT flags.

The vgconvert command can likely be reduced further.

The lvm1-specific config settings should probably have
some other fields set for proper deprecation.

aee27dc7ba scan: skip device rescan in vg_read
For reporting commands (pvs,vgs,lvs,pvdisplay,vgdisplay,lvdisplay)
we do not need to repeat the label scan of devices in vg_read if
they all had matching metadata in the initial label scan.  The
data read by label scan can just be reused for the vg_read.
This cuts the amount of device i/o in half, from two reads of
each device to one.  We have to be careful to avoid repairing
the VG if we've skipped rescanning.  (The VG repair code is very
poor, and will be redone soon.)

d9a77e8bb4 lvmcache: simplify metadata cache
The copy of VG metadata stored in lvmcache was not being used
in general.  It pretended to be a generic VG metadata cache,
but was not being used except for clvmd activation.  There
it was used to avoid reading from disk while devices were
suspended, i.e. in resume.

This removes the code that attempted to make this look
like a generic metadata cache, and replaces with with
something narrowly targetted to what it's actually used for.

This is a way of passing the VG from suspend to resume in
clvmd.  Since in the case of clvmd one caller can't simply
pass the same VG to both suspend and resume, suspend needs
to stash the VG somewhere that resume can grab it from.
(resume doesn't want to read it from disk since devices
are suspended.)  The lvmcache vginfo struct is used as a
convenient place to stash the VG to pass it from suspend
to resume, even though it isn't related to the lvmcache
or vginfo.  These suspended_vg* vginfo fields should
not be used or touched anywhere else, they are only to
be used for passing the VG data from suspend to resume
in clvmd.  The VG data being passed between suspend and
resume is never modified, and will only exist in the
brief period between suspend and resume in clvmd.

suspend has both old (current) and new (precommitted)
copies of the VG metadata.  It stashes both of these in
the vginfo prior to suspending devices.  When vg_commit
is successful, it sets a flag in vginfo as before,
signaling the transition from old to new metadata.

resume grabs the VG stashed by suspend.  If the vg_commit
happened, it grabs the new VG, and if the vg_commit didn't
happen it grabs the old VG.  The VG is then used to resume
LVs.

This isolates clvmd-specific code and usage from the
normal lvm vg_read code, making the code simpler and
the behavior easier to verify.

Sequence of operations:

- lv_suspend() has both vg_old and vg_new
  and stashes a copy of each onto the vginfo:
  lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_old);
  lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_new);

- vg_commit() happens, which causes all clvmd
  instances to call lvmcache_commit_metadata(vg).
  A flag is set in the vginfo indicating the
  transition from the old to new VG:
  vginfo->suspended_vg_committed = 1;

- lv_resume() needs either vg_old or vg_new
  to use in resuming LVs.  It doesn't want to
  read the VG from disk since devices are
  suspended, so it gets the VG stashed by
  lv_suspend:
  vg = lvmcache_get_suspended_vg(vgid);

If the vg_commit did not happen, suspended_vg_committed
will not be set, and in this case, lvmcache_get_suspended_vg()
will return the old VG instead of the new VG, and it will
resume LVs based on the old metadata.

a7cb76ae94 scan: use bcache for label scan and vg read
New label_scan function populates bcache for each device
on the system.

The two read paths are updated to get data from bcache.

The bcache is not yet used for writing.  bcache blocks
for a device are invalidated when the device is written.

55d83f9f6e mirror: block_on_error only with monitoring
When user configured lvm2 to NOT user monitoring, activated mirror
actually hang upon error and it's quite unusable moment.

So instead Warn those 'brave' non-monitoring users about possible
problem and activation mirror without blocking error handling.

This also makes it a bit simpler for test suite to handle trouble
cases when test is running without  dmeventd.

83258e3385 toolcontext: do not change stream for pthreaded programs
With pthreaded daemons like 'dmeventd' using  liblvm via plugin,
lvm2 actually should not 'play' with streams at all - as there
could be parallel outputs running.

As a current quick workaround just disable change for pthreaded
program (gettid() != getpid()).

TODO: it's possible the change of buffering actually doesn't serve us
any measurable benefit and could be dropped as whole later...

Meanwhile this patch is fixing this occasional valgrind race report:

1e2420bca8 commands: new method for defining commands
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Match every user command with one definition.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.

The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command.  A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args.  Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition.  Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.

Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:

lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.

lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by specified PV extents.
FLAGS: SECONDARY_SYNTAX

lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize a pool metadata SubLV by a specified size.

The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters.  Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition.  Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.

This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h.  usage/help output is also
auto generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.

Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one.  An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition.  The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command.

The prototype syntax used for help/man output includes
required --option and positional args on the first line,
and optional --option and positional args enclosed in [ ]
on subsequent lines.

  command_name <required_opt_args> <required_pos_args>
          [ <optional_opt_args> ]
          [ <optional_pos_args> ]

Command definitions that are not to be advertised/suggested
have the flag SECONDARY_SYNTAX.  These commands will not be
printed in the normal help output.

Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.

Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found.  lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition.  This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.

Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it.  The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.)  These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing per-command-name
implementation functions.

Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do.  This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis.  When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.

b5e093624d toolcontext: read all configuration sources when checking config values in lvm2-activation-generator through lighweight toolcontext handler
We added lightweight toolcontext handle to avoid useless initialization
of some parts of the context and also to avoid problems when using the
handle very soon at system boot, like in lvm2-activation-generator
through lvm2app interface. However, we missed reading all the other
config sources like lvmlocal.conf as well as any tag config - we need to
read these too to get the final config value which may be overriden in
any of these additional config sources.

Currently, we use this lightweight toolcontext handle to read
global/use_lvmetad and global/use_lvmpolld config values in
lvm2-activation-generator using lvm2app interface (lvm_config_find_bool
lvm2app function).

e8985c71bc config: add support for CFG_DISALLOW_INTERACTIVE flag to mark settings as not suitable for override in interactive mode
Some settings are not suitable for override in interactive/shell
mode because such settings may confuse the code and it may end
up with unexpected behaviour. This is because of the fact that
once we're in the interactive/shell mode, we have already applied
some settings for the shell itself and we can't override them
further because we're already using those settings to drive the
interactive/shell mode. Such settings would get ignored silently
or, in worse case, they would mess up the existing configuration.

06ce9b4e42 log: separate output and make it possible to use given FDs
Currently, the output is separated in 3 parts and each part can go into
a separate and user-defined file descriptor:

  - common output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_OUT_FD environment variable)
  - error output (stderr by default, customizable by LVM_ERR_FD environment variable)
  - report output (stdout by default, customizable by LVM_REPORT_FD environment variable)

For example, each type of output goes to different output file:

  [0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3

  [0] fedora/~ # lvs fedora vg/abc 1>out 2>err 3>report

  [0] fedora/~ # cat out

  [0] fedora/~ # cat err
    Volume group "vg" not found
    Cannot process volume group vg

  [0] fedora/~ # cat report
    LV   VG     Attr       LSize   Layout     Role       CTime
    root fedora -wi-ao----  19.00g linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21
    swap fedora -wi-ao---- 500.00m linear     public     Wed May 27 2015 08:09:21

Another example in LVM shell where the report goes to "report" file:

  [0] fedora/~ # export LVM_REPORT_FD=3
  [0] fedora/~ # lvm 3>report

  (in lvm shell)
  lvm> vgs

  (content of "report" file)
  [1] fedora/~ # cat report
    VG     #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
    fedora   1   2   0 wz--n- 19.49g    0

751163a743 libdm: log: remove log_print_bypass_report calls and register new print_log_libdm for libdm during lvm initialization instead
This fixes commit f50d4011cd which
introduced a problem when using older lvm2 code with newer libdm.
In this case, the old LVM didn't recognize new _LOG_BYPASS_REPORT flag
that libdm-report code used. This ended up with no output at all
from libdm where log_print_bypass_report was called because the
_LOG_BYPASS_REPORT was not masked properly in lvm2's print_log fn
which was called as callback function for logging.

With this patch, the lvm2 registers separate print_log_libdm logging
function for libdm instead. The print_log_libdm is exactly the same
as print_log (used throughout lvm2 code) but it checks whether we're
printing common line on output where "common" means not going to stderr,
not a warning and not an error and if we are, it adds the
_LOG_BYPASS_REPORT flag so the log_print goes directly to output, not
to any log report.

So this achieves the same goal as in f50d4011cd,
just doing it in a way that newer libdm is still compatible with older
lvm2 code (libdm-report is the only code using log_print).

Looking at the opposite mixture - older libdm with newer lvm2 code,
that won't be compilable because the new log report functionality
that is in lvm2 also requires new dm_report_group_* libdm functions
so we don't need to care here.

89e2aef63a tools: add 'lvm lastlog' command for interactive query and display of last command's log
If we're running in lvm shell, we can keep last command's log report
for further query with possible different selection criteria for easy
log lookup.

199b7b55c2 lvmcache: fix duplicate handling with multiple scans
Some commands scan labels to populate lvmcache multiple
times, i.e. lvmcache_init, scan labels to fill lvmcache,
lvmcache_destroy, then later repeat

Each time labels are scanned, duplicates are detected,
and preferred devices are chosen.  Each time this is done
within a single command, we want to choose the same
preferred devices.  So, check for existing preferences
when choosing preferred devices.

This also fixes a problem with the list of unused duplicate
devs when run in an lvm shell.  The devs had been allocated
from cmd memory, resulting in invalid list entries between
commands.

7fd4119d24 liblvm: allow config settings to be read without full lvm cmd
A program may be using liblvm2app for simply checking a config
setting in lvm.conf.  In this case, a full lvm context is not
needed, only cmd->cft (which are the config settings read from
lvm.conf).

lvm_config_find_bool() can now be passed a NULL lvm context
in which case it will only create cmd->cft, check the config
setting asked for, and destroy the cmd.

87d9406725 lib: fix init error handling
When setting up a toolcontext, the lib init function
was detecting an error when there was none, and then
it was returning an incompletely initialized cmd struct
instead of NULL.  The effect was that the lib would try
to use the uninitialized cmd struct and segfault.
This would happen if a non-fatal error occurred during
cmd setup, e.g. user permission failed on lvmetad socket,
causing cmd to fall back to scanning and not use lvmetad.

The only real error condition is when create_toolcontext
returns NULL.  If cmd is returned, the lib can use it.

1134ab6324 lvmetad: warn about making changes while not using lvmetad
If lvmetad is running, and a command opts to not use it
(--config global/use_lvmetad=0), and the command changes
metadata, then the metadata change is not visible to
lvmetad.  Subsequent commands using lvmetad to change
metadata may cause corruption based on the invalid
lvmetad state.

Eventually we can set the disabled state in lvmetad
to prevent this problem, but for now print a warning
about the possibility.

e44c4806db lvmetad: check pid for warning case
When command is not using lvmetad because
use_lvmetad=0 in the config, but the lvmetad
pidfile exists, print a warning (previously
this checked for the socket existing instead
of the pidfile existing.)

5e9e43074a lvmetad: rework command connection setup and checking
The lvmetad connection is created within the
init_connections() path during command startup,
rather than via the old lvmetad_active() check.

The old lvmetad_active() checks are replaced
with lvmetad_used() which is a simple check that
tests if the command is using/connected to lvmetad.

The old lvmetad_set_active(cmd, 0) calls, which
stopped the command from using lvmetad (to revert to
disk scanning), are replaced with lvmetad_make_unused(cmd).

2d5dc6512e dbus: add notification from commands
When a command modifies a PV or VG, or changes the
activation state of an LV, it will send a dbus
notification when the command is finished.  This

f7e0a4cc18 cmd: add '-H|--history' switch and wire it up in cmd_context and processing_handle
This patch adds "include_historical_lvs" field to struct cmd_context to
make it possible for the command to switch between original funcionality
where no historical LVs are processed and functionality where historical
LVs are taken into account (and reported or processed further). The switch
between these modes is done using the '-H|--history' switch on command
line.

The include_historical_lvs state is then passed to process_each_* fns
using the "include_historical_lvs" field within struct processing_handle.
